nehupitho lyasho tali yeta lya fa onyeka.
2 Iigwana otayi ka ligamena uuyuuki woye,

nota kala a fa ombushiki koshilongo shoye.
5 Ngashika omumati ta hokana omufuko gwe,

6 Jerusalem, kedhingililokuma lyoye onda langeke ko aalangeli.

8 Omuwa okwa gana koshikaha she shokoluyo

9 Ihe mboka taa teya iilya,

Mboka taa likola omandjembele,

10 Aajerusalem, pitii mo, pitileni miiyelo!
Paleleni aagalukilimo epola!
Tungeni onenendjila; umbii mo omamanya!
Yeluthileni iigwana ombaaneli!
11 Shika Omuwa okwe shi tumbulile uuyuni auhe ta ti:
“Lombweleni omuna omukadhona Sion tamu ti:
‘Omuwa ote ya e ku hupithe e na ondjambi ye
note ke ku futa.’ ”
12 Otamu ka lukwa “Oshigwana oshiyapuki”, “Aakulilwa yOmuwa”.
Ngoye Jerusalem oto ka ithanwa “Omuyuulukiwa”, “Oshilando inaashi ethiwa”.
1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 ¶ For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 ¶ Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
